EMANUEL HAHN'S
ORIGINAL SKETCH
$1 5oz THIN (1st time ever)
0.9999 PURE SILVER COIN
Get a glimpse of the creative process behind the 1939 silver dollar.
Another Mint first! We’re simultaneously honoring history and making history with this innovative thin 5 oz. coin, which brings you an engraved representation of Emanuel Hahn’s original sketch of the 1939 silver dollar. Working off the hand-drawn mock-up preserved in the National Currency Collection of the Bank of Canada, engravers have painstakingly re-created Hahn’s preliminary “Parliament” art concept for the commemoration of the royal visit of King George VI—whose effigy appears on the obverse—and Queen Elizabeth. Every pencil mark, and even the fold lines of the original paper document, are etched upon your coin’s reverse, where the relief—struck incuse for that hand-drawn look—honors both the artist and the artwork that holds historical significance.
Drawn by Hahn: Enjoy an “early” view of the 1939 silver dollar.
Special features
- A Mint first. This is the first thin 5 oz. coin. Struck on an innovative coin blank, this thinner coin contains 5 oz. of 99.99% pure silver but features a 50% larger diameter than a standard 5 oz. coin, and provides more room for the art.
- A Hahn original. This is a rare opportunity for collectors to own an engraved representation of an original drawing by Emanuel Hahn. It reflects the artist’s vision for the 1939 silver dollar—an important piece in Canadian numismatic history.
- Honouring Hahn. Artist, sculptor, coin designer—Emanuel Hahn left an indelible mark on Canada’s coins, and his Bluenose (10 cents) and caribou (25 cents) designs still grace our circulation coins today.
- Includes art card. Each coin is accompanied by an art card featuring a reproduction of the original drawing by Hahn.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST.

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box, along with an art card featuring a reproduction of the original sketch.
